if Newsom wins tomorrow... hero of the recall Steve Smith and California Labor Federation

Steve Smith, communications strategist for the California Labor Federation, sounded the alarm after conducting some focus groups.

“People have a lot of other things on their minds,” he told me then. “If there’s not a big turnout, things could get interesting.”

Smith helped organize what he calls “the largest field campaign ever run in the state. Our goal was 10,000 volunteers. We have well over 20,000.”

That recruitment of Newsom volunteers was greatly aided by Elder’s late entry into the race in July.

“He gave us a lot of material,” Smith says.
